CD Reviews

An excellent introductory compilation.

"The True Jit soundtrack is an excellent choice for anyone testing the waters of Zimbabwean pop. A great all-round collection varying from the traditional mbira-based guitar to the rapid-fire guitar of jit, to South African influenced pop to the sweet sounds of reggae. Although heavy on the work of Oliver Mtukudzi, the album represents the sounds of Zimbabwe quite well. Most enjoyable and a great addition to any African collection. Highlights are Oliver Mtukudzi's Under Pressure, Solomon Skuza's Patimile, and John Chibadura's reggae mega-smash Zuva Refuka Kwangu."
